Despite the semantic criteria, geometric criteria have different performances on polygon feature matching in different vector datasets. By using these criteria for measuring the similarity of two polygons in all matchings, the same results would not have been obtained. To achieve the best matching results, the determination of optimal geometric criteria for each dataset is considered necessary....
